Use Papal. There's a money back guarantee. Last time I checked, the seller doesn't get your card #, eBay does.

Orphoto, to be fair to the seller, the add is selling filters from 52mm to I think 77mm or 82mm.

WTH IS A B&W FILTER????????????????


It's a brand name, but it is actually B+W, like it is in the ad.

Paypal is the easiest and most hacked payment system on the internet! Their security is nonexistent

Information source? I've been using it for years with flawless results. I'll qualify that by saying that I keep only about $150 in the bank account they have access to for payment unless I'm making a big purchase and then I transfer money in shortly before hitting the buy button. You get both the eBay and PayPal guarantees if using eBay.

Look at this Ebay add. Must be a scam...Right, however, look at the sellers feedback rating.
I'm tempted, what do you think?


KEH has used ones in that price range for the "basic" model. Apparently, there are tiers? A new one at B&H would be about $40, but they're out of stock.

Check out the return and refund policy of the seller and who pays for the return shipping if they accept returns. I have usually had very good experiences with purchases on Ebay.

Analysis paralysis for a $15 item. Donor don’t. Not a high risk deal here.

It's actually "B+W". Note that it's an actual plus sign between the B and the W. A B+W filter is a high quality, often recommended brand lens filter.

Oops! Just noticed someone beat me to it!

I wouldn't touch it. B&W quality doesn't sell for that price.

B+W XS Pro line filters are discontinued and replaced by the 'Master' line.
The XS Pro are great filters.
I would go for it do it through PayPal as suggested.

I buy B&W nano pro filters all the time on KEH and MPB in the $20-30 range in sizes up to 77mm, so $15 isn’t THAT low.For example, here’s a B&W F Pro 77mm filter on KEH for $21:
